Custom Widget + Task Pane + IE(7)

[Nolte, Tim]

I've been working on setting up a Fusion (1.0.6) application along with
UMN MapServer 5.2. I've begun working up two new widgets to use in the
Task Pane. I've added the information to the ApplicationDefinition.xml
file and added them to the Task List menu. Everything seems to work
without a problem in Firefox 2.x, but in IE7 I get a JavaScript error
and the menu items for my custom widgets don't show up. Anyone got any
thoughts here? Here is what I've defined:

                <!-- ContextMenu (Tasks): Menu available to the Task
Pane -->
                <Container xsi:type="UiItemContainerType">
                        <Name>TaskContextMenu</Name>
                        <Type>ContextMenu</Type>
                        <Item xsi:type="WidgetItemType">
                                <Function>Widget</Function>
                                <Widget>menuMapAddress</Widget>
                        </Item>
                        <Item xsi:type="WidgetItemType">
                                <Function>Widget</Function>
                                <Widget>menuSiteSearch</Widget>
                        </Item>
                </Container>

                <!-- CONTEXT MENU MAP ADDRESS -->
                <Widget xsi:type="UiWidgetType">
                        <Name>menuMapAddress</Name>
                        <Type>MapAddress</Type>
                        <ImageUrl>images/icons/building.png</ImageUrl>
                        <ImageClass/>
                        <Label>Map Address</Label>
                        <Tooltip>Click to map an address</Tooltip>
                        <Extension xsi:type="CustomContentType">
                                <Target>TaskPane</Target>
                        </Extension>
                        <Disabled/>
                </Widget>
               
                <!-- CONTEXT MENU SITE SEARCH -->
                <Widget xsi:type="UiWidgetType">
                        <Name>menuSiteSearch</Name>
                        <Type>SiteSearch</Type>
       
<ImageUrl>images/icons/transmit_blue.png</ImageUrl>
                        <ImageClass/>
                        <Label>Site Search</Label>
                        <Extension xsi:type="CustomContentType">
                                <Layer>OnAir</Layer>
                                <Attribute>BTS_SWITCH_ID</Attribute>
                                <Target>TaskPane</Target>
                        </Extension>
                        <Disabled/>
                </Widget>

Hi Tim,

I suspect an error in your widgets since it sounds like the  
application definition is getting parsed and some widgets are getting  
created.

Typically if something doesn't work in IE but does work in FireFox it  
turns out to be an extra comma in an object or array definition after  
the last thing - for instance:

var test = {
   t1: 'one thing',
   t2: 'another thing', // <--- this will cause an error in IE but not  
in FireFox
};

Hope its a simple as that ...

Cheers

Paul
